Editorial Review
Our Take on Plomberie V.I.P.
The combination of a 4.9 rating across 657 Google reviews and a service list built around camera work, smoke testing and sewer cleaning points to a company that spends its days on the diagnostic end of plumbing, which is where Montreal's old laterals cause the most grief. The long daily hours are a genuine advantage for landlords and commercial tenants. Just pin down the after hours rate and the excavation restoration scope on the phone, because neither is published.
Best for: drain and sewer diagnostics in older Montreal buildings
What We Like
- 4.9 rating from 657 reviews on the Google Business Profile, read September 25, 2026
- Long daily service window, 6 AM to 8 PM most days, with emergency response advertised
- Diagnostic tools including camera inspection and smoke testing, not just mechanical clearing
- Excavation and new pipe installation offered alongside repair work
- Covers the island plus Laval and the Rive-Sud, including Ahuntsic, Rosemont, Villeray and Anjou
- R.B.Q. licence number published on the company site for easy verification
Things to Consider
- No pricing published online, so rates and after hours premiums have to be confirmed by phone
- The website advertises 24/7 emergency while the profile lists 6 AM to 8 PM, worth clarifying before a late night call
- Heating, ventilation and appliance work are not among the listed services
- The Rue Drolet address appears to be an office suite rather than a walk-in location

- Pierre-Alexandre Poirier5.0Super service, le plombier a pu me tenir au courant de tout ses travaux à distance.September 2026Google
- Helen Karanika5.0This was the second time we had work done by Plomberie V.I.P. We had two catch basins replaced in our garage (interior and exterior) as well as the pipe that connected them. The experience was as positive as the first. The workers who came were very efficient and competent, and managed to finish everything within the same day. They kept the rest of the space clean from dust as they were working, and cleaned up after they completed the job. Very satisfied with the end result.September 2026Google

- Baptistine Boutheon5.0La vie de propriétaire ressemble à un roman d'aventure parfois. 😅 À l'été 2026,on a dû faire de gros travaux d'excavation et de plomberie sur notre maison sur la rive sud de Montréal. Plusieurs semaines de travaux, beaucoup de stress et évidemment une grosse dépense. On a choisi Plomberie VIP pour leur approche simple mais professionnelle. Au-delà de la recommandation qui m'avait été faite, c'est le contact humain qui nous a fait choisir l'entreprise. Que ce soit pour l'excavation ou la plomberie, nous n'avons eu affaire qu'à des personnes aimables et qui connaissaient leur sujet. J'ai pu poser toutes les questions que je voulais, parfois plusieurs fois et on m'a toujours répondu avec patience et clarté. Le travail a été réalisé proprement et lorsque le chantier s'est achevé, tout à été nettoyé. Vraiment, je recommande vivement cette entreprise.September 2026Google

About Plomberie V.I.P.
Older Montreal housing stock sets the terms for most of this trade. Plateau and Villeray triplexes built before the war still run cast iron stacks and clay laterals out to the city main, and after seventy or eighty winters those lines sag, scale up and crack at the joints. Tree roots find the cracks. Spring melt and summer cloudbursts push water back through floor drains in finished basements that were never meant to be finished. That is the daily reality a Montreal plumber works in, and it explains why the service list at Plomberie V I P leans so heavily toward drains, sewers and diagnostics rather than fixture swaps.
The published range covers plumbing repair, drain unblocking, camera inspection, smoke testing, high pressure sewer cleaning, installation of new piping and excavation, on both residential and commercial buildings. Smoke testing is worth noting because relatively few outfits advertise it. It is how you trace a stubborn sewer smell to a dry trap, a cracked vent or an improperly capped line, and it saves a lot of speculative demolition. Camera inspection plays a similar role on the drain side, turning a guess about where the blockage sits into a measured distance from the cleanout.
Evidence of how the work lands comes from the Google Business Profile, which showed a 4.9 rating across 657 reviews when it was read on September 25, 2026. Volume matters as much as the number itself. A few hundred reviews at that average suggests a company handling a steady stream of calls rather than a handful of large contracts, which fits the emergency and drain focus.
Hours are the other practical detail. The profile lists 6 AM to 8 PM six days a week and 7 AM to 8 PM on Sunday, which is an unusually long window for a plumbing company and useful if you need someone before the workday starts. The website separately promotes round the clock emergency calls. Those two things are not identical, so if you are phoning at two in the morning it is worth asking directly whether a truck is actually rolling and what the after hours rate is. Overnight and holiday call-out pricing in this market is normally a premium on top of the labour rate, sometimes a flat trip charge as well, and the number should be stated before anyone is dispatched.
Service areas named on the company site stretch well past the island core: Ahuntsic, Anjou, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Montreal-Nord, Riviere-des-Prairies, Rosemont, Villeray, plus Laval and the Rive-Sud. The listed address is a suite on Rue Drolet in the Villeray area, which reads as a dispatch and administrative office rather than a counter you walk into. Call first if you were planning to drop by.
The site states an R.B.Q. licence number, 568-6674-201. Quebec requires contractor licensing for this kind of work, and the number is public, so it takes about a minute to check the current status on the Regie du batiment register before you commit to a larger job. Do that for any plumber, not just this one.
There are jobs where Plomberie V I P looks like a natural call and jobs where it may not be. Recurring basement backups, a sewer line that needs camera confirmation before anyone quotes, a smell nobody can locate, a section of galvanized or lead supply line that finally has to go, commercial kitchens and rental buildings needing quick turnaround: all of that sits squarely in what is advertised. If you want heating, ventilation or appliance work bundled in, the published services do not mention it. Nor does the company post price ranges online, so comparison shoppers will need to phone.
Before booking, ask a few things. Whether the estimate is firm or an hourly estimate. Whether camera footage is provided to you after an inspection. For excavation, who pulls the borough permit, who handles the cut and repair of concrete or asphalt, and what the restoration includes. For backflow problems, whether a back-water valve is recommended and whether your borough currently offers a subsidy toward one, since several Montreal boroughs have run such programs. Finally, confirm the warranty terms in writing. A drain cleared today should come with some stated period of coverage, and reputable shops will say so plainly.

Plomberie V.I.P. FAQs
What areas does Plomberie V.I.P. cover around Montreal?
The company names Ahuntsic, Anjou, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Montreal-Nord, Riviere-des-Prairies, Rosemont and Villeray on the island, plus Laval and the Rive-Sud, and says it serves other areas as well. If your address sits outside those neighbourhoods, phone and ask rather than assuming it is out of range.
Do they answer emergency calls at night?
The company website advertises 24/7 emergency service, while the Google profile lists hours of 6 AM to 8 PM Monday through Saturday and 7 AM to 8 PM Sunday. Because those two do not match exactly, confirm on the call that a technician is being dispatched and what the overnight rate or trip charge will be.
How well reviewed is the company?
Its Google Business Profile showed a 4.9 rating from 657 reviews when read on September 25, 2026. That is a large review count for a plumbing company in this market, which makes the average more meaningful than a high score based on a handful of ratings.
Can they find the source of a sewer smell?
Yes, smoke testing and camera inspection are both listed services, and those are the standard tools for the job. Smoke testing pushes non toxic smoke through the drain system so escape points show up at cracked vents, dry traps or uncapped lines, which avoids opening walls on a guess.
Is the company licensed in Quebec?
The website publishes R.B.Q. licence number 568-6674-201. Quebec contractors of this type are required to hold a Regie du batiment licence, and the register is public, so you can confirm the current status yourself in a couple of minutes before signing anything for a larger job.
What should I ask before agreeing to excavation work?
Ask who obtains the borough permit, how the utility locates are handled, and exactly what restoration is included once the trench is closed. Digging to a lateral in Montreal often means cutting concrete, asphalt or landscaping, and whether that surface is restored to its previous condition should be written into the estimate rather than discussed afterward.
Do they work on commercial buildings?
Yes, the company describes itself as serving both residential and commercial clients for repairs and for new pipe installation, on small projects and larger ones. Restaurants, rental buildings and retail spaces with grease or high volume drain loads fall within the advertised scope.
Is Plomberie V.I.P. licensed and insured?
We checked 0 of 2 credentials against the issuing authority. Verified items carry the date we checked; reported items are what the business told us and we could not independently confirm.
What areas does Plomberie V.I.P. serve?
Montreal, Lasalle, Saint-Laurent, Outremont. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.
Does Plomberie V.I.P. offer emergency service?
Yes, the company lists emergency availability. Response time depends on demand, and after a storm every company in the market is stretched.
What warranty do they offer?
Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.
How was this profile built?
Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.
Can a business pay to improve its profile?
A business can subscribe to manage its own listing details, and it can buy a labelled sponsored placement. Neither changes a ranking position or the editorial assessment on this page.
